Wrapped tightly
Like a babe
In silk sheets black as night
The sky
Dark and gloomy
Sulked and stormed
The clouds opened
The bones of the earth groaned
In chorus
With the wind
Howl the world
Into a complete whiteness
Roads lined with mountains
Man no match for nature’s fury -Or her Grace !
Crawling cars keep pace
With desperate fellow man
Coat pulled tight around ears
In stomping stubbornness the world spins on
Responsibilities wait for no storm or struggle
Embraced with glee
By leaping curly haired pups
And the shining eyes of children
Gifted a day free from studies –
Full instead of sledding
Snowball fights
Red noses
Sweet sticky hot chocolate
A city slowed but not stopped –
Stooping under heavy powdered crystals,
Rumbles and swells with breath –
Stands and shakes itself off
Shovels gripped as weapons
We Carry on
